1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo reduce scan duration in hyperpolarized

methodsImages were acquired in 12 subjects (n = 3 radiation therapy, n = 1 unexplained dyspnea, n = 8 healthy) using both standard (TR = 15 ms, FA = 20°, duration = 15 s, 998 projections) and "fast" (TR = 5.4 ms, FA = 12°, duration = 11.3 s, 2100 projections) acquisition parameters. For the fast acquisition, 3 image sets were reconstructed using subsets of 1900, 1500, and 1000 projections. From the resulting ventilation, tissue ("barrier"), and red blood cell (RBC) images, image metrics and biomarkers were compared to assess agreement between methods.

resultsImages acquired using both FA/TR settings had similar qualitative appearance. There were no significant differences in SNR, image mean, or image SD between images. Moreover, the percentage of the lungs in "defect", "normal", and "high" bins for each image (ventilation, RBC, barrier) was not significantly different among the acquisition types. After registration, comparison of 3D image metrics (Dice, volume similarity, average distance) agreed well between bins. Images using 1000 projections for reconstruction had no significant differences from images using all projections.
